One Call Does It All: 1-888-363-7462

Tropical
Storm Hermine reminds us of the importance of staying connected with our
employer during a weather emergency. The
USPS National Employee Emergency Hotline (1-888-EMERGNC or
1-888-363-7462)
is the system the Postal Service uses in an emergency. It’s the
official source of information for weather issues, work schedule changes, and
facility status.The
emergency hotline number is on the back of most employee badges. If your
badge does not have the number, record it for future use in your mobile device,
on a piece of paper, or on your home computer.If
you evacuate or relocate due to an emergency, call the hotline number, enter
your facility ZIP Code and then press “5”. You will be routed to an
individual who can verify that you are in a safe environment. Those individuals
will relay the employee information to District and Area leadership.If
you are deaf or hard of hearing and use Telecommunications Relay Services
(TRS), call a Florida TRS toll-free number, and the TRS operator will interact
with the hotline application on your behalf. FLORIDA TRS Provider – Sprint; Customer Service #:
